In addition, in one aspect of the present invention, the predetermined area may be a goal area associated with the first team. The first control means, when the player character belonging to the second team is holding the moving object, the player character holding the moving object or the moving position of the player character that is the goalkeeper of the first team. You may control based on both the position of an object and the position of the said valley area | region. The second control means may control the position of the player character who is the goalkeeper of the first team based on the position of the goal area when the player character belonging to the second team holds the moving object.

In addition, in one aspect of the present invention, the predetermined area may be a goal area associated with the first team. The first control means, when the player character belonging to the second team is holding the moving object, the player character holding the moving object or the position of the player character other than the goalkeeper of the first team. You may control based on both the position of a moving object, and the position of the said valley area | region. The second control means, when the player character belonging to the second team holds the moving object, the player character holding the moving object or the position of the player character other than the goalkeeper of the first team. You may control based on the position of a moving object.

In addition, in one aspect of the present invention, the goal area associated with the first team may be used. The game device includes means for causing the player character that is the goalkeeper of the first team to bounce the moving object when a player character belonging to the second team shoots, and the predetermined condition is satisfied. If it is determined that it is determined, the moving direction of the moving object after the bouncing operation of the moving object is performed may include means for setting the direction of movement to any player character belonging to the second team.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an example of embodiment of this invention is described in detail based on drawing. The game device according to the embodiment of the present invention is realized using, for example, a home game machine (mountable game machine), a portable game machine, a mobile phone, a portable information terminal (PDA), a personal computer, a server computer, or the like. Here, the case where the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention is realized using a home game machine will be described.

1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a game device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game device 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a home game machine 11, a monitor 32, a speaker 34, and an optical disk 36 (information storage medium). The monitor 32 and the speaker 34 are connected to the home game machine 11. As the monitor 32, a home TV receiver is used, for example, and as the speaker 34, a speaker built in a home TV receiver is used, for example.

The home game machine 11 is a known computer game system. The home game machine 11 includes a bus 12, a microprocessor 14, a main memory 16, an image processor 18, an input / output processor 20, an audio processor 22, an optical disk reader 24, a hard disk. 26, communication interface 28, and controller 30.

The microprocessor 14 controls each part of the home game machine 11 based on the operating system stored in ROM which is not shown in figure, and the program read from the optical disc 36. FIG. The main memory 16 includes, for example, a RAM, and as necessary, programs and data stored in the optical disk 36 are written in the main memory 16. The main memory 16 is also used as a working memory of the microprocessor 14. The bus 12 is for sending and receiving addresses and data to each part of the home game machine 11.

The image processing unit 18 includes a VRAM, and draws a game screen on the VRAM based on the image data supplied from the microprocessor 14. The game screen drawn on the VRAM is converted into a video signal and output to the monitor 32 at a predetermined timing.

The input / output processing unit 20 is an interface for the microprocessor 14 to access the audio processing unit 22, the optical disk reading unit 24, the hard disk 26, the communication interface 28, and the controller 30. The voice processing unit 22 includes a sound buffer and outputs various voice data (for example, game music, game sound effects, or messages) read from the optical disk 36 to the sound buffer from the speaker 34. . The communication interface 28 is an interface for wired or wireless connection of the home game machine 11 to a communication network such as the Internet.

The optical disc reading unit 24 reads out a program or data recorded on the optical disc 36. In addition, although the optical disk 36 is used to supply a program and data to the home game machine 11 here, you may use other information storage media, such as a memory card. Further, for example, a program or data may be supplied to the home game machine 11 from a remote location via a communication network such as the Internet. The hard disk 26 is a general hard disk device (auxiliary storage device). The program and data described as being stored in the optical disk 36 may be stored in the hard disk 26.

The controller 30 is a universal operation input means for the user to input various game operations. The plurality of controllers 30 can be wired or wirelessly connected to the home game machine 11. The input / output processing unit 20 scans the state of the controller 30 every fixed period (for example, 1/60 second), and transmits an operation signal indicating the scan result to the microprocessor 14 via the bus 12. The microprocessor 14 determines the game operation of the player based on the operation signal.

In game device 10, for example, a soccer game that mimics a soccer game between a first team operated by a first user and a second team operated by a second user is executed. Similar to the actual soccer game, the game in the soccer game includes the first half and the second half. If both teams score at the end of the second half, the result of the penalty kick is decided. This soccer game is realized by executing a program read from the optical disc 36.

In order to display the game screen of the soccer game, a virtual three-dimensional space is built in the main memory 16. 2 shows an example of a virtual three-dimensional space. As shown in FIG. 2, in the virtual three-dimensional space 40, a field 42, which is an object representing a soccer field, is disposed. Field 42 is marked with goal line 43 and touch line 45. A soccer game is played in the pitch 41 surrounded by the goal line 43 and the touch line 45.

On the field 42, a goal 44, which is an object representing a goal, a player character 46, which is an object representing a soccer player, and a ball 48 (moving object), which is an object representing a soccer ball, are disposed. One of the goals 44 corresponds to the first team, and the other corresponds to the second team. When the ball 48 moves to an area (predetermined area) in the goal 44 corresponding to one team, a scoring event of the other team occurs.

Although omitted in FIG. 2, on the field 42, eleven player characters 46 belonging to the first team and eleven player characters 46 belonging to the second team are arranged.

When the player character 46 and the ball 48 come close, under certain conditions, the player character 46 and the ball 48 can be related. In this case, the ball 48 follows the player character 46. This state appears as a dribbling motion of the player character 46. Hereinafter, it describes as "the player character 46 holding the ball 48" that the ball 48 is in the state which concerns on the player character 46. FIG.

In addition, when a player character 46 holds the ball 48, and the other player character 46 and the ball 48 come close, the other player character 46 and the ball ( 48) this may be relevant. In this way, the ball 48 held by the player character 46 is seized by the other player character 46.

Any one of eleven player characters 46 belonging to the first team is set as an operation target of the first user. During the game, the operation target of the first user is changed among 11 player characters 46 belonging to the first team. For example, among the eleven player characters 46 belonging to the first team, the player character 46 close to the ball 48 is set as the operation target of the first user. For example, when the first user presses a predetermined button, the operation target of the first user is changed to another player character 46 among the player characters 46 belonging to the first team. In the same manner as the first team, any one of eleven player characters 46 belonging to the second team is set as an operation target of the second user.

In addition, below, it describes as the "operation target player character" the player character 46 which becomes the operation target of a user among the player characters 46 which belong to each team. In addition, among the player characters 46 belonging to each team, player characters 46 other than the operation target player character are described as "ally friendly player character."

The operation target player character operates based on the user's operation. For example, the manipulation target player character moves according to the user's movement instruction operation. In addition, for example, when the user performs a pass or shot instruction operation, the operation target player character performs a pass or shot operation. On the other hand, the friendly player character is operated by a computer and operates according to a predetermined algorithm.

In the virtual three-dimensional space 40, a virtual camera 49 (viewpoint) is set. The game screen showing the view of the virtual three-dimensional space 40 with the virtual camera 49 is displayed on the monitor 32. For example, to always display the ball 48 on the game screen, the virtual camera 49 moves in the virtual three-dimensional space 40 based on the movement of the ball 48. In addition, in order to always display the operation target player character on the game screen, the virtual camera 49 may move in the virtual three-dimensional space 40 based on the movement of the operation target player character.

3 shows an example of a game screen. On the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 3, the player character 46, the 1st mark image 52, and the 2nd mark image 54 are displayed. The first mark image 52 is displayed on the head of the character to be manipulated by the first user, and the second mark image 54 is displayed on the head of the character to be manipulated by the second user.

By the way, in a soccer game, the scoring scene is the scene in which the mood rises most. For this reason, a game in which both teams do not score may lack atmosphere. For example, if both teams are not scored in a game played in an event of a football game, there is a case where the heightening of the atmosphere of the event itself is insufficient. In this regard, the competitive soccer game according to the present embodiment includes two modes, a normal mode and a mass scoring mode. The mass scoring mode is a mode designed to make it easier for the first user and the second user to score together. In other words, the mass scoring mode is a mode prepared for the purpose of preventing both teams from scoring together. In this embodiment, any mode can be selected before a game starts. Which mode is selected is determined by consultation between the first user and the second user. In addition, a user may be given a decision right, and a user given the decision right may select a mode. The difference between the normal mode and the mass scoring mode will be described below.

First, the difference between the first will be described. In the normal mode and the mass scoring mode, the control regarding the position of the friendly player character of the other team in the case where the player character 46 of the one team holds the ball 48 is different.

4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining the first difference. In addition, suppose that the player character 46 of the 2nd team hold | maintains the ball 48 here. In FIG.4 and FIG.5, the code | symbol 44a has shown the goal | part 44 corresponding to the 1st team. The code | symbol 46a has shown the player character 46 holding the ball 48 among the player characters 46 which belong to a 2nd team. The code | symbol 46b has shown the player character 46 which marks the player character 46a holding the ball 48. As shown in FIG. Naturally, player character 46b is player character 46 belonging to the first team. The code | symbol 46c has shown the player character 46 which is a goalkeeper of a 1st team. In addition, the player characters 46b and 46c are all operated by the computer instead of the player target character.

4 is a diagram illustrating control regarding the positions of the player characters 46b and 46c when the normal mode is selected. First, the position control of the player character 46b which marks the player character 46a holding the ball 48 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 4, in the normal mode, the player character 46b is a straight line connecting the player character 46a (or the ball 48) with the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. 62). More specifically, the player character 46b is controlled so that it is a position on the said straight line 62, and is located in the position whose distance from the player character 46a (or the ball 48) is predetermined distance R1. . 4, although the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a is a position on the goal line 43, and is set in the position of the same distance from the left and right goalposts, the 1st team goal 44a ) Representative point 60 may be set to another position (the same also about FIG. 5).

Moreover, the position control of the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of a 1st team is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 4, in the normal mode, the player character 46c is also controlled to be positioned on the straight line 62. More specifically, the player character 46c is a position on the said straight line 62, and it controls so that it may be located in the position where the distance from the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a is predetermined distance R2. do.

As described above, in the normal mode, the player character 46b marking the player character 46a uses the player character 46a (or the ball 48) and the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. It is controlled to be located on the straight line 62 to connect. For this reason, in order for the player character 46a to be close to the first team goal 44a, dribbling or the like must be used to avoid the opponent player character 46b, and the player character 46a sets the goal 44a. It is difficult to move linearly toward. In addition, even if the player character 46a dribbles the player character 46b and shoots, since the player character 46c as the goalkeeper is also located on the straight line 62, the shot of the player character 46a is shot. Is likely to be disturbed by the player character 46c. Thus, in the normal mode, the position of the player character 46 on the defensive side is controlled so that scoring becomes relatively difficult to enter.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating control regarding the position of friendly player characters when the mass scoring mode is selected. First, the position control of the 1st team player character 46b which marks the player character 46a of the 2nd team holding the ball 48 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 5, in the mass scoring mode, the player character 46b is positioned in the front direction 64 of the player character 46a (in other words, the player character 46a or the direction in which the ball 48 travels). Controlled to. More specifically, the player character 46b is the position of the front direction 64 of the player character 46a, and the distance from the player character 46a (or the ball 48) is predetermined distance R1. Controlled to be at the in position. For this reason, in the mass scoring mode, the player character 46b marking the player character 46a uses the player character 46a (or the ball 48) and the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. It cannot be said that it is located on the straight line 62 to connect. In FIG. 5, the player character 46b is a position in the front direction 64 of the player character 46a, and the distance from the player character 46a (or the ball 48) is a predetermined distance R1. Although controlled to be located at the in position, the player character 46b may be controlled to be located at another position set based on the position of the player character 46a.

Moreover, the position control of the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of a 1st team is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 5, in the mass scoring mode, the player character 46c is controlled to be positioned at a predetermined position based on the first team goal 44a. More specifically, the player character 46c is a linear position extending in the front direction 66 from the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a, and the distance from the representative point 60 is predetermined. It is controlled to be located at a predetermined position which is the distance R2. For this reason, the player character 46c is not necessarily located on the said straight line 62, either. In FIG. 5, the player character 46c is a linear position extending from the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a in the front direction 66, and the distance from the representative point 60 is Although it is controlled to be located in the position which is predetermined distance R2, the player character 46c may be controlled to be located in the other position set based on the position of the 1st team goal 44a.

As described above, in the mass scoring mode, the player character 46b marking the player character 46a is represented by the player character 46a (or the ball 48) and the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. It cannot be said that it is located on the straight line 62 connecting. For this reason, the player character 46a is easy to move toward the 1st team goal 44a. In addition, since the player character 46c, which is the goalkeeper, cannot be located on the straight line 62, if the player character 46a dribbles the player character 46b and shoots, the shot is taken. The possibility of being disturbed by the player character 46c is made low. In this way, in the mass scoring mode, the position of the player character 46 on the defensive side is controlled so that scoring is relatively easy to enter.

Next, the second difference is explained. In the soccer game, when the player character 46 of one team shoots, the player character 46, which is the goalkeeper of the other team, catches the ball 48 (catching operation) or bounces the ball 48. An operation (for example, a punching operation) is performed. In the normal mode and the mass scoring mode, the control regarding the moving direction of the ball 48 after the operation of bouncing the ball 48 is different.

6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining the second difference. Here, the case where the player character 46 of the 2nd team shoots and the player character 46 which is the goalkeeper of the 1st team performed punching operation is assumed. However, the action of bouncing the ball 48 is not limited to the action of bouncing the ball 48 by hand, such as a punching action, and the ball 48 is moved by a part other than the hand (for example, a head or a leg). It may be a bouncing operation. The control regarding the moving direction of the ball 48 after the operation of bouncing the ball 48 to a portion other than the hand is also performed similarly to the case where the punching operation is performed. 6 and 7, in the same manner as in Figs. 4 and 5, reference numeral 44a denotes a goal 44 corresponding to the first team, and reference numeral 46c denotes a player character (the goalkeeper of the first team). 46). The code | symbol 46d has shown the player character 46 which performed the shooting among the player character 46 which belongs to a 2nd team. The code | symbol 46e has shown the player character 46 other than the player character 46 which performed the shooting among the player character 46 which belongs to a 2nd team. The player character 46c is operated by the computer, not the operation target player character.

FIG. 6 shows control regarding the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation when the normal mode is selected. As shown in FIG. 6, when the normal mode is selected, the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation of the player character 46c that is the goalkeeper of the first team is that the ball 48 touches the goal line 43 or touches it. It is set to the direction (for example, directions 70, 72, 74 in FIG. 6) which goes out the pitch 41 beyond the line 45. In addition, the direction 70 in FIG. 48) This case is shown above the goal 44a and out of the pitch 41. When the normal mode is selected, the ball 48 after the punching operation of the player character 46c, which is the goalkeeper of the first team, is shown. ) Can be replaced with that set in the direction in which the player characters 46d and 46e of the second team are not located.

FIG. 7 shows control regarding the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation in the case where the mass scoring mode is selected. As shown in Fig. 7, when the mass scoring mode is selected, the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation of the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of the first team is determined by any player character belonging to the second team ( 46d and 46e are set to the direction (for example, directions 76 and 78 in FIG. 7) in which they are located.

As described above, in the normal mode, the direction in which the ball 48 moves after the player character 46 as the goalkeeper performs the punching motion is pitched beyond the goal line 43 or the touch line 45. (41) It is set in the direction to go out. In contrast, in the mass scoring mode, the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation is set to the direction in which the player character 46 of the side team who shot the ball is located. For this reason, when punching operation | movement is performed, the shot opportunity is given once more to the player character 46 of the team which shot. In this manner, in the mass scoring mode, the movement direction of the ball 48 after the player character 46 as the goalkeeper performs the punching operation is controlled so that the scoring is easy to enter.

In a soccer game, a game in which both teams are not scored together may lack atmosphere. In this regard, in the soccer game according to the present embodiment, by selecting the mass scoring mode, it is possible to achieve a relatively easy scoring, and as a result, both teams can be designed so as not to be scored together.

The configuration for realizing the above-described normal mode and mass scoring mode will be described. First, the function realized in the game device 10 will be described. 8 is a functional block diagram mainly showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized in the game device 10. As shown in FIG. 8, the game device 10 includes a game data storage unit 80, a game situation data update unit 82, and a display control unit 84. The game data storage unit 80 is implemented mainly with the main memory 16 and the optical disk 36, for example. The game situation data updater 82 is realized mainly by the microprocessor 14, for example. The display control unit 84 is realized mainly by, for example, the microprocessor 14 and the image processing unit 18.

The game data storage unit 80 stores game data necessary for executing a soccer game. For example, model data of each object disposed in the virtual three-dimensional space 40 is stored in the game data storage unit 80. Also, for example, motion data of various motions of the player character 46 is stored in the game data storage unit 80. In addition, for example, a parameter indicating the degree of various capabilities of each player character 46 is stored in the game data storage unit 80.

The game data storage unit 80 also includes a setting data storage unit 80a and a game situation data storage unit 80b. The setting data storage unit 80a stores setting data. The setting data is data indicating which of the normal mode or the mass scoring mode is selected, for example.

The game situation data storage unit 80b stores game situation data indicating the current situation of the game. For example, data representing the current state (for example, position, posture, or frontal direction, etc.) of each player character 46 is stored in the game situation data storage unit 80b. Further, data representing the current state of the ball 48 (for example, position, direction of movement, speed of movement, etc.) is stored in the game situation data storage unit 80b. In addition, data representing the current state of the virtual camera 49 (for example, the position or the visual line direction) is stored in the game situation data storage unit 80b.

In addition, data representing the player character 46 holding the ball 48 at that point in time, and data representing the player character 46 serving as the player character to be manipulated at that point in time are also included in the game situation data storage unit 80b. Is remembered). In addition, the data indicating the elapsed time of the game and the scoring status of both teams is also stored in the game situation data storage unit 80b.

The game situation data updater 82 updates the game situation data. For example, the game situation data updater 82 updates the state of the operation target player character (for example, position and posture) based on the user's operation, thereby operating the operation target player character in accordance with the user's operation. . For example, the game situation data updater 82 updates the friendly player character status according to a predetermined algorithm, thereby operating the friendly player character according to a predetermined algorithm. For example, when the player character 46 of one team shoots, the game situation data update part 82 changes the position and attitude of the player character 46 which is the goalkeeper of the other team based on motion data, The player character 46, the goalkeeper, is allowed to perform the operation of catching the ball 48 or the operation of throwing the ball 48 away. In addition, for example, the game situation data updating unit 82 is in the state of the ball 48 based on the action of the player character 46 (dribbling, passing, shooting, or bouncing the ball 48). The ball 48 is moved by updating (for example, position and direction of movement).

In particular, the game situation data updater 82 is a functional block for controlling the position of friendly player characters of the other team in the case where one team holds the ball 48, and the first player controller 82a. ) (First control means) and second player control unit 82b (second control means).

The first player control unit 82a corresponds to the normal mode. When the player character 46 belonging to one team is holding the ball 48, the 1st player control part 82a holds the ball 48 with the position of the player character 46 belonging to the other team, It controls based on both the position of the player character 46 or the ball 48 which exists, and the position of the other team goal 44. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the player character 46a of the 2nd team is holding the ball 48, the 1st player control part 82a is the player character 46b which is a defender of the 1st team. B, on the straight line 62 connecting the player character 46c that is the goalkeeper of the first team to the position of the player character 46a or the ball 48 and the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. The player characters 46b and 46c are positioned in the control.

On the other hand, the second player control unit 82b corresponds to the mass scoring mode. When the player character 46 belonging to one team is holding the ball 48, the 2nd player control part 82b holds the ball 48 with the position of the player character 46 belonging to the other team, It controls based on either the position of the player character 46 or the ball 48 which exists, and the position of the other team goal 44. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the player character 46a of the 2nd team is holding the ball 48, the 2nd player control part 82b is the player character 46b which is a defender of the 1st team. ) Is controlled so that the player character 46b is positioned in the front direction 64 (in other words, the moving direction of the player character 46a or the ball 48) of the player character 46a. In addition, the second player controller 82b places the player character 46c, which is the goalkeeper of the first team, at the predetermined position based on the representative point 60 of the first team goal 44a. To control.

The game situation data updater 82 is a functional block relating to the control of the moving direction of the ball 48 when the player character 46 who is the goalkeeper performs the punching motion. 1st control means) and 2nd ball control part 82d (2nd control means).

The 1st ball control part 82c respond | corresponds to a normal mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the player character 46c which is a goalkeeper bouncing the ball 48, the 1st ball control part 82c performs the ball after bouncing the ball 48 The direction in which the ball 48 moves out of the pitch 41 beyond the goal line 43 or the touch line 45 (for example, the directions 70, 72, 74 in FIG. 6) in the moving direction of the 48. Alternatively, the first ball control unit 82c bases the moving direction of the ball 48 after the operation of bouncing the ball 48 is based on the positions of the player characters 46d and 46e of the first team. The player characters 46d and 46e of the first team are set in the direction where they are not located.

On the other hand, the second ball controller 82d corresponds to the mass scoring mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the player character 46c which is a goalkeeper performed the operation which bounces the ball 48, the 2nd ball control part 82d has performed the ball after the operation which bounced the ball 48 was performed. The direction of movement of the 48 is based on the position of the player characters 46d and 46e of the second team, and the direction in which the player characters 46d and 46e of the second team are located (for example, the direction in FIG. 7). 76, 78).

The game situation data updating unit 82 also includes a determination unit 82e and a control switching unit 82f.

The determination unit 82e determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied. In the case of this embodiment, the determination part 82e determines whether the mass scoring mode is selected based on setting data.

The control switching unit 82f controls the position control of the player character 46 belonging to the other team when the one team is holding the ball 48. The first player controller 82a or the second player controller It performs to any of (82b). The control switching unit 82f determines whether to perform the above control to the first player control unit 82a or the second player control unit 82b based on the determination result of the determination unit 82e. For example, when it is determined that the mass scoring mode is not selected, the control switching unit 82f causes the first player control unit 82a to perform the above control. On the other hand, when it is determined that the mass scoring mode is selected, the control switching unit 82f causes the second player control unit 82b to perform the above control.

In addition, the control switching unit 82f controls the movement direction of the ball 48 after the operation when the player character 46 serving as the goalkeeper bounces the ball 48. It implements in either 82c or the 2nd ball control part 82d. The control switching unit 82f determines whether to perform the above control to the first ball control unit 82c or the second ball control unit 82d based on the determination result of the determination unit 82e. For example, when it is determined that the mass scoring mode is not selected, the control switching unit 82f causes the first ball control unit 82c to perform the above control. On the other hand, when it is determined that the mass scoring mode is selected, the control switching unit 82f causes the second ball control unit 82d to perform the above control.

The display control unit 84 generates a game screen 50 showing the state of viewing the virtual three-dimensional space 40 with the virtual camera 49 based on the game situation data, and generates the game screen 50 on the monitor 32. Display.

Next, a process in which the game device 10 is executed will be described. 9 and 10 are flowcharts showing an example of processing executed by the game device 10.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the process according to the present invention among the processes executed by the game device 10 every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 second) when one team holds the ball 48. FIG. to be. The microprocessor 14 performs the process shown in FIG. 9 according to the program read out from the optical disk 36. FIG. By performing the process shown in FIG. 9, the microprocessor 14 performs the 1st player control part 82a, the 2nd player control part 82b, the determination part 82e, the control switching part 82f, and the display control part 84 Is realized.

Here, the process shown in FIG. 9 is demonstrated assuming the same case as FIG. 4 and FIG. That is, it is assumed that the player character 46a belonging to the second team holds the ball 48, and the player character 46b belonging to the first team marks the player character 46a.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the microprocessor 14 (game situation data update part 82) is a state (for example, a position, a posture, etc.) of the player character 46a holding the ball 48. As shown in FIG. ) Is updated (S101). For example, when the player character 46a is the operation target player character of the second user, the state of the player character 46a is updated based on the operation of the second user. For example, the position, the attitude, the moving direction, and the like of the player character 46a are updated so that the player character 46a moves in accordance with the movement instruction operation of the second user. On the other hand, when the player character 46a is not the operation target player character, the state of the player character 46a is updated based on a predetermined algorithm. In addition, in the process of this step, the ball 48 state (for example, position etc.) is also updated. The state of the ball 48 is updated based on, for example, the positional change of the player character 46a holding the ball 48.

Thereafter, the microprocessor 14 (determination 82e, control switching unit 82f) refers to the setting data to determine whether or not the mass scoring mode is selected (S102).

When the mass scoring mode is not selected, the microprocessor 14 (the first player control unit 82a, the control switching unit 82f) is in the player character 46b state (eg, the player character 46a). (For example, position, posture, etc.) is updated (S103). For example, the position of the player character 46b is updated as follows. First, it is a position on the straight line 62 which connects the player character 46a and the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a, and the distance from the current position of the player character 46a is predetermined distance. The position of (R1) is obtained as the movement target position of the player character 46b (see FIG. 4). Further, the direction from the current position of the player character 46b to the moving target position is acquired as the moving direction of the player character 46b. Then, the position of the player character 46b is updated from the current position to the position moved by the distance based on the movement speed in the movement direction.

In addition, the microprocessor 14 (the 1st player control part 82a, the control switching part 82f) updates the state (for example, a position, a posture, etc.) of the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of a 1st team ( S104). For example, the player character 46c is updated as follows. First, it is a position on the straight line 62 which connects the player character 46a and the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a, and also the distance from the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a. Is a predetermined distance R2, the position is acquired as the movement target position of the player character 46c (see Fig. 4). Further, the direction from the current position of the player character 46c to the moving target position is acquired as the moving direction of the player character 46c. Then, the position of the player character 46c is updated to the position moved from the current position to the moving direction by a distance based on the moving speed.

On the other hand, when the mass scoring mode is selected, the microprocessor 14 (the second player control unit 82b, the control switching unit 82f) is in the player character 46b state (example) that marks the player character 46a. For example, the position, posture, and the like are updated (S105). For example, the position of the player character 46b is updated as follows. First, the position which is the position of the front direction 64 of the character character 46a, and the position whose distance from the current position of the athlete character 46a is the predetermined distance R1 is the moving target position of the athlete character 46b. Is obtained as (see FIG. 5). Further, the direction from the current position of the player character 46b to the moving target position is acquired as the moving direction of the player character 46b. Then, the position of the player character 46b is updated from the current position to the position moved by the distance based on the movement speed in the movement direction.

In addition, the microprocessor 14 (2nd player control part 82b, control switching part 82f) updates the state (for example, position, posture, etc.) of the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of a 1st team ( S106). For example, the position of the player character 46c is updated as follows. First, the position which is a linear position extended in the front direction 66 from the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a, and the position whose distance from the position of the representative point 60 is predetermined distance R2 is It is acquired as a movement target position of the player character 46c (refer FIG. 5). Further, the direction from the current position of the player character 46c to the moving target position is acquired as the moving direction of the player character 46c. Then, the position of the player character 46c is updated to the position moved from the current position to the moving direction by a distance based on the moving speed.

After the processing of S104 or S106 is executed, the microprocessor 14 (game state data updating unit 82) updates the state of the player characters 46 other than the player characters 46a, 46b, 46c (S107). For example, the player character 46 state, which is the player target player character, is updated based on the user's operation. On the other hand, the player character 46 state other than the operation target player character is updated according to a predetermined algorithm.

Thereafter, the microprocessor 14 (display control unit 84) updates the game screen 50 (S108). That is, the game screen 50 which shows the state which looked at the virtual three-dimensional space 40 with the virtual camera 49 is created on VRAM. The game screen 50 created on the VRAM is displayed on the monitor 32.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the process according to the present invention among the processes executed by the game device 10 when the player character 46 serving as the goalkeeper bounces the ball 48. The microprocessor 14 performs the process shown in FIG. 10 according to the program read from the optical disc 36. FIG. When the microprocessor 14 performs the process shown in FIG. 10, the 1st ball control part 82c, the 2nd ball control part 82d, the determination part 82e, and the control switching part 82f are implement | achieved.

Here, the case shown in FIG. 10 is demonstrated assuming the same case as FIG. 6 and FIG. That is, it is assumed that the player character 46d belonging to the second team shoots, and the player character 46c which is the goalkeeper of the first team performs the punching operation. In addition, the same process is performed also when the operation | movement which bounces the ball 48 to parts other than a hand (for example, a head or a leg) is performed.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the microprocessor 14 (determination 82e, control switching unit 82f) refers to the setting data to determine whether or not the mass scoring mode is selected (S201). ).

When the mass scoring mode is not selected, the microprocessor 14 (the first ball control unit 82c and the control switching unit 82f) determines the moving direction of the ball 48 after performing the punching operation as follows. (S202). That is, the direction in which the ball 48 moves out of the pitch 41 beyond the goal line 43 or the touch line 45 after the punching operation is performed (for example, the direction in FIG. 6). 70, 72, 74) (see FIG. 6).

On the other hand, when the mass scoring mode is selected, the microprocessor 14 (2nd ball control part 82d, control switching part 82f) determines the moving direction of the ball 48 after performing a punching operation as follows. (S203). That is, first of all, any of the player characters 46 belonging to the second team and positioned near the first team goal 44a is selected. Here, the "player character 46 located in the vicinity of the first team goal 44a" is, for example, lowered from the current position of the player character 46 to the goal line 43 on the first team goal 44a side. It is the player character 46 whose length of a vertical line is below a predetermined length. Or, with "the player character 46 located in the vicinity of the 1st team goal 44a", for example, the distance from the representative point 60 of the 1st team goal 44a to the player character 46 is predetermined | prescribed. A player character 46 that is less than or equal to a distance. When any of the player characters 46 belonging to the second team and positioned near the first team goal 44a is selected, the moving direction of the ball 48 after the punching operation is performed is the ball 48. Is determined with respect to the position of the selected player character 46 at the current position of (eg, directions 76 and 78 in FIG. 7) (see FIG. 7).

After the processing of S202 or S203 is executed, the microprocessor 14 (game situation data updating unit 82) starts the ball 48 to move in the movement direction determined in S202 or S203 (S204). That is, updating of the state of the ball 48 (for example, position or direction of movement) is started so that the ball 48 moves in the movement direction determined in S202 or S203.

As described above, the game device 10 includes a normal mode and a mass scoring mode. In the case where the mass scoring mode is selected, the position of the player character 46 on the defensive side and the moving direction of the ball 48 when the player character 46 which is the goalkeeper bounces the ball 48 have a relatively high score. It is controlled to be easy to enter. For this reason, in the game device 10, by selecting the mass scoring mode, the scoring can be made relatively easy to enter, and as a result, both teams can be prevented from becoming scoreless. For example, in an event of a soccer game, by selecting the mass scoring mode, the atmosphere of the event can be enhanced. Further, for example, a user who wishes to play a soccer game in a state where score is easy to enter can select a mass scoring mode, so that the user can enjoy a football game in a state where score is easy to enter.

In addition, in the game device 10, scoring is made easy to enter only when the mass scoring mode is selected. If the goal is always in the easy state, there is a risk of losing the interest of the football game. In this regard, according to the game apparatus 10, for example, the scoring is made easy to enter only when an event of a football game is performed or when the user wishes to play a football game in a state where the scoring is easy to enter. You can do it. For example, for a user who does not wish to play a soccer game in a state where score is easy to enter, by selecting the normal mode, the soccer game can be enjoyed in a state where score is difficult to enter.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment described above.

For example, in the mass scoring mode, the capability parameter of the player character 46 who is the goalkeeper may be corrected so that the capability is lowered as compared with the normal mode. By doing in this way, a score may become comparatively easy to enter.

As an example of the capability parameter of the player character 46 which is a goalkeeper, there is a parameter (reaction ability parameter) which shows the reaction speed with respect to a shot, for example. This reaction ability parameter is the length of time until the player character 46 of the opposing team shoots, and the player character 46 as the goalkeeper starts to move to catch or bounce the ball 48. Used to determine. The smaller the value of the reaction capability parameter is, the longer this time becomes, and the lower the probability that the player character 46 of the goalkeeper catches or bounces off the ball 48. For example, in the mass scoring mode, the value of the reaction capability parameter is corrected so that the reaction rate is slow as compared with the normal mode. As a result, the possibility that the player character 46 of the goalkeeper catches or bounces the ball 48 becomes low, and the score easily enters.

For example, instead of the user selecting either the normal mode or the mass scoring mode, either the normal mode or the mass scoring mode may be automatically selected based on the situation of the soccer game. For example, in this aspect, the normal mode is automatically selected at the start of a match. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the game (the second half), in other words, when both teams are scoreless together when the remaining time of the game (the second half) is less than the predetermined time, a large number of points are scored from the normal mode. It automatically changes to mode.

In this aspect, the determination unit 82e determines whether or not predetermined conditions relating to the situation of the football game are satisfied based on the game situation data. In other words, the determination unit 82e determines whether or not the situation (for example, elapsed time and scoring situation) of the soccer game has reached a predetermined situation based on the game situation data. For example, the determination unit 82e determines whether or not the elapsed time after the start of the match (second half) has reached a predetermined time. In other words, the determination unit 82e determines whether the remaining time of the game (the second half) is less than or equal to the predetermined time. In addition, the determination unit 82e determines whether or not both teams are scoring together. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the game (second half) and both teams are scoreless, the determination unit 82e determines that the "predetermined condition" is satisfied. In other words, the determination unit 82e determines that the situation of the soccer game (for example, the elapsed time and the scoring situation) has become a predetermined situation. In this way, the scoring can be made easier to enter only when the situation of the football game (for example, the elapsed time and the scoring situation) becomes a predetermined situation.

Also, for example, a game executed in the game device 10 is not limited to a game displaying a three-dimensional game space composed of three coordinate elements on a game screen. The game executed by the game device 10 may be a game displaying a two-dimensional game space composed of two coordinate elements on a game screen. That is, the game played by the game device 10 may be a game managed by two coordinate elements, such as the position of a ball or a player character.

For example, the game executed by the game device 10 may be a network game in which a plurality of users participate through a network. For example, the game played by the game device 10 may be a sports game other than a soccer game. For example, the present invention can be applied to a game of basketball, rugby, or football, played using a ball (moving object), or a game of ice hockey played using a pack (moving object).
